Recent months have been a treat for devotees of a certain kind of . . . let's call it smart, rootsy alt-rock. Vicki Peterson (the Bangles, Continental Drifters) and her husband, John Cowsill (the Cowsills, Beach Boys), released Long After the Fire, a tribute of sorts: the songs were all written by John's late brothers, Barry and Bill Cowsill. It's a well-crafted labor of love, with high points including the country-swing "Fool Is the Last One to Know" and "Come to Me," a gorgeous pop ballad. More fine music from people who have already given us so much to enjoy, and they are still out touring. Grab any shows that might—if you're lucky—come your way. (spotify.com) —George Kalogerakis
